Some people are complaining that the Mac wallet doesn't work. Any feedback welcome!

Hi, v1.7 wallet seems to be work fine for me: sync, unlock, backup, transaction view. I don't have tested Transaction and Export. CPU % and memory seem to be OK. Only Mincoint icon with white backcolor (not transparent). I 'm on OSX 10.9.2 What feedback on "doesn't work" you have?

I just made new image and reuploaded directly from my mac virtual machine. Earlier upload worked perfectly fine with my Maveric. I ran wallet for 45 minutes, it updated the blockchain beautifully. 8-9 connections in few minutes time and 12 connections when i closed it. Also sent some coins in and out from my windows wallet to mac wallet. All worked fine. Anyone having issue, should back up their wallet first, then clean first wallet from disk and afterwards install 1.7.

None of this is a reason to bash BC community. It would make us look weak and focused not on our coin&project, but on the envy on others.

I think those actually bashing the BC community are a vocal minority in the Mintcoin community. I wouldn't worry too much about those types sullying the Mintcoin name - they only sully their own name. But, I agree, we should focus on Mintcoin, and not worry about winning a pissing contest with other coins.

On the other hand, a tablet-only user might want it if it's her only computer, so android wallet should ideally have minting, but the ability to turn it off. Or options like "mint only when charging", "mint only when charging and battery > 80%", "mint only when screen is locked"

And another user said the same tho. The argument was he has friends that would like to mint on their tablets. I still think the battery life will still be an issue. However we can always do what gonzoucab is saying and put a checkbox enabling/disabling minting. Of course, for that 1st we need the wallet up and available for download and 2nd have implemented the PoS algorithm.

I'm thinking about the first use case, to run mintcoin wallet on a phone, but the user doesn't want his phone to mint at all. What happens if I share my private key between desktop wallet and android wallet?

Does anyone know how the QT clients react when the same wallet.dat is used on two computers simultaneously? Do they notice funds in an account are gone if they see an outgoing transaction in the blockchain, or do they assume only they can initiate transfers?

Those are real good questions. People usually goes with the new wallet/priv-key created when installing the app on their devices.

Maybe the Mintcoin Dev Team can answer this to us. Or somebody can point us to proper documentation. I can't tell whether or not there's a mechanism to prevent things like you're mentioning. If it doesn't exists we may design one (by "we" I mean the interested developers that are lurking around the forum, ).

I mean desktop wallet can mint all the time, and to sync my android wallet, I can show it a QR code from desktop wallet and voila, from that point android wallet can spend coins (and all future coins) from my desktop wallet. They should be able to track their balances over the blockchain.

Maybe what I imagine* is not possible due to changes being sent to new generated addresses, but I'm not sure.

I'd like to have the answers of those Qs too. I'm no a cryptocoin expert; but I usually solve problems either with code or Linux servers. My employers usually give me broken code I'm not familiar with, written in <put_the_name_of_the_language_here> and then say "fix it". So, I think I'm capable to do the task. Of course, any of the developers on the forum can help. That's the beauty of Open Source.

I have repeatedly asked questions regarding the android wallet and they are never answered by David, who is the only person here who seems to have contact with the developers (and may actually be part of the development group/or possibly is the developer - how would we ever know?).

The most important question, which I've asked about 6 times now, is how much are the developers putting up for an Android Wallet (from the 700,000,000 pre-mine). With this information, the job can be shopped around the development community. Without it, well....lets just say we still don't have a working app.

Personally, I'm interested in the Android Wallet so that I can SHARE Mintcoin via mobile...and help others do so. Mintcoin is only going to spread by getting people interested, many people who may not even be Bitcoin holders at this point. An easy way to introduce it is to help them download the wallet, then send them some free Mintcoin...and watch their face light up at the ease of use.

It's not a complicated concept.

If you want Mintcoin to go up in value (instead of it being constantly wash traded in a box by the developer) then we need to be able to spread it - the Android Wallet is the key to this.

The ability for the wallet to mint is really secondary and should not be an impediment to the wallet being developed.

This is the MINTCOIN FORUM. I propose the moderators have the power and responsibility to simply delete posts not directly related to Mintcoin. People announcing things about other coins have no place here. Period.

please tell us an approximate price so we can discuss whether such an amount can be raised by the community. thank you

Also your negotiation tactic of "laughing in someones face" marks you has someone who is not worth negotiating with.

I'm sorry if I choose to not let people "play me" for an idiot.

You are obviously one of the boys here who doesn't think the developer should be showing some degree of transparency and accountability to the investors here (that's what people here are).

This would lead me to one of 2 conclusions: you're either part of the "group" running this, or you've little experience in trading and can't see or understand what's going on.

The fact others have also had the same questions as me and never received answers (and ultimately dumped their positions in Mintcoin), speaks volumes about the lack of long term intent by the developers.

700,000,000 Pre-mine....if I was the developer I would bend over backwards to show the community how I'm spending it to help the long term prospects of the coin.

I still own Mint. I may dump it all or I may buy more. Depends on what happens over the next couple weeks. If we don't have a wallet within the next 2 weeks (it was being worked on OVER 2 weeks ago) then I'm confident there are other coins, with much smaller floats, that are in a position to pull off a wallet before Mintcoin.
